Hi Tourettes,

could you please elaborate on that a little bit?
Is it only needed if you want to use the subtitles or could it also cause the channel changing problems that some people are experiencing with the SVNs since Sept. 14th?

Basicly the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)" is a new requirement.

All,

I just would like to inform all of you about my findings.
Since Sept. 15th, I had severe problems with LiveTV and TsReader. The first channel change after enabling LiveTV worked fine but then with the next channel change, LiveTV crashed. I had to restart my PC in order to get it to work again. Because of that, I have reverted back to the SVN from Sept. 14th, the last one that worked for me.

Today, I gave it anoter try. First, I installed the MS Visual C++ ReDist. Package as mentioned by Tourettes. Afterwards, I installed todays SVNs ("MediaPortal SVN-Snapshot: 10-03-2007 01-02h - Revision:16098" and "TVEngine3 Snapshot: 10-03-2007 01-22h Revision 16098").

And surprise, surprise, LiveTV works great again!

I don't know, if the missing MS package or the latest fix from gibman

TVE3 02/10/2007 [20:19:24] gibman added: TSwriter channel change stability improved on client. In some circumstances bad TS packets would get written to the TS file on server.

Anyway, just want to let you know that it it working now fine for me.

That patch is needed with the DVBSub2.ax filter. Currently it's not possible to install tve3 client without it (and possible not in the future also). The warning can be ignored (it will currently only cause the DVB subtitles not to work as the filter registration fails, but in the future it could be also needed for different tve3 components).

So it's comended to install that update no matter if you are using the DVB subtitles or not.

Well here is my experience with SVN 16098. Works well with seeking - no problems so far (not as good as tsfilesource.ax though - tsreader has problems synching video & audio - takes some time compared to tsfilesource.ax). IMO needs refinement in that area... perhaps take some peek in tsfilesource source code?

BUT. I still have problems with audio and video sync occasionally when switching channels. The symptom when it happens is that video is working but audio is not. But after a while, usually 10-15 seconds later, the audio starts -but then the video freezes until the audio catches up - then it works again. But I have had some channel changes where the audio never starts as well.

In the logs I had to switch channels maybe 5-6 times until it happened (around 5 seconds audio missing until it "catched up" the video). So it is the last channel change that had the issue. And as I said before in this thread SVN 15881 did not have this problem (that's the SVN I know anyhow).

With TSfilesource.ax there is none of this problems (but others that you know of...).

Tourettes,

Thanks for the info. I'll try installing the package on my remote client and give it another test.

sometimes disconnecting the output pin failes with code 0x2502fc24 (i added some debug statements to CDeMultiplexer::RenderFilterPin() ). i have not yet found out what this code means, but the result is, that the codec gets disconnected from the renderer, but the pGraphBuilder->Render() fails because the TsReader->VideoCodec connection is still alive. This way I end up with a broken graph, and have to stop/start TV.

i'm using tsreader, ms mpeg2-decoder and EVR. it is worth noting, that i haven't yet been able to reproduce the situation with the VMR9 renderer. will keep testing, but maybe you guys have some idea what this could be about.

it seems that the graph is not in the correct state for disconnecting pins or something like that?

edit: just had the same issue with vmr9, but instead of the video disconnecting, the audio was disconnected from the filter; my audio filter is AC3Filter.

edit2: forgot to mention the cause: it happens when switching channels a lot.

This must be what I am experience as well in the above post: HELP US: Testing the new filter

Currently running on SVN 15881 because of this...

[pnyberg]

Since I'm bit annoyed by the audio problem I have conducted some investigation about this...

In my testing the 15881 SVN version is the last working for me. I have tested 15895,15898, 15917, 15947, 15980, 16014, 16020, 16027, 16125 all of them I have audio issues as I have described earlier.

The change log between 15881 and 15895/15898 :

TvPlugin 15/09/2007 [00:05:45] gemx added: Added recording entry in context menu of Radio Guide - You can now record radio channels!
Music 14/09/2007 [19:16:30] hwahrmann added: BASS Mixer device was initialised with wrong Samplerate for playback via ASIO
TvPlugin 14/09/2007 [22:34:38] gemx added: Improved MyRadio (TvPlugin). Added grouping functionality... See the thread in the forum for more details

IMO I would suspect the TVPlugin changes made there? Perhaps the radio web streams is th eon to blame for the audio issue? Perhaps Gemx can have a second look into this?

Are you sure about this? I previously ran version 15898 with no audio problem at all...
